Introduction. 

NO one man, however wide his knowledge, can pos- 
sibly know all that is best worth seeing in every 
department of such a vast collection of objects as is 
on view at the World's Columbian Exposition. 

This little book offers to the public the concentrated 
knowledge and guidance of many men, each one of whom 
is an expert in the subject of which he writes. 

Wearying, unprofitable hours of aimless wandering 
will be saved by accepting the guidance herein afforded 
by these men. 

The objects enumerated have been selected so as to 
embrace those things which are most worthy of note 
because of their intrinsic merit as works of art, ingenu- 
ity, or monetary value, or for their perfection, extreme 
rarity, or historic interest. Their number might have 
been many times multiplied, and yet not a fraction of 
what is well worth seeing be catalogued; but the pub- 
lishers have rigorously kept in view the limitations of 
human endurance and the restricted time at the disposal 
of the average visitor, and therefore have included 
only such objects as are supreme in their sphere. 

Every building can be readily located by reference to 
the map of the grounds, and each exhibit mentioned 
easily found by consulting the diagram of the building 
in which it is housed. 

For fuller information and guidance than this minia- 
ture affords the reader is referred to A Week at the 
Fair and Rand, McNally & Co.'s Handbook of the Ex- 
position, issued by the publishers of this work. They 
are the fullest, most" authentic and reliable guides yet 
offered to the public, the information therein being pro- 
vided by Mrs. Potter Palmer, President Board of Lady 
Managers; Mr. D. H. Burnham, Director Works, and 
other eminent authorities and Exposition officials.
